The house was close to the beach and quiet. However the hot tub was non functional due to over chlorination (caused all 5 family members to cough and wheeze). Although we called to have it taken care of, the situation was never rectified and the hot tub was unusable for the entire week. It would have been nice to be able to use it on rainy days.
Otherwise the home was cute.
